Air-Way......The Death Knell Has Sounded.........

I found out today from Tania Voigt that Air-Way is indeed out of business and it's doors are closed. The phone is disconnected as well.

Tania spoke with Air-Way owner Steve Tomberlin yesterday to confirm the information. As most know, I am an Air-Way dealer and had been expecting this due to some recent developments.

There are no vacuums left at the factory and the name has been sold to the VitaMix/VitaVac company. Hopefully, they will be able to supply bags and filters.

A VCCC member was meeting with Steve Tomberlin today to find out if there are any inventory pieces/parts left that are available for purchase.

As of this writing, I only have "bojack" bags, (and a limited number at that), for my customers. So, if you have bags, use them sparingly! I have no vacuums or filters in my inventory.

Sadly, another great American, hand made, product has bitten the dust. I guess it's ever onward with the $99 dust blowers from K-Mart! If you own vintage or newer Air-Way products, hang on to them.............they will increase in value down the road.
